57f0adc7ea mmc: add per device quirk placeholder
Some cards have quirks valid for every platforms using current
platform quirk hooks leads to a lot of code and debug duplication.

So we inspire a bit from what exists in PCI subsystem and do our own
per vendorid/deviceid quirk.  We still drop the complexity of the pci
quirk system (with special section tables, and so on).
That can be added later if needed.

709de99df0 mmc: export eMMC4.4 enhanced area details to sysfs
Enhanced area feature is a new feature defined in eMMC4.4 standard. This
user data area provides higher performance/reliability, at the expense
of using twice the effective media space due to the area using SLC.

The MMC driver now reads out the enhanced area offset and size and adds
them to the device attributes in sysfs. Enabling the enhanced area can
only be done once, and should be done in manufacturing. To use this
feature, bit ERASE_GRP_DEF should also be set.

Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-mmc describes the two new
attributes.

dfe86cba76 mmc: add erase, secure erase, trim and secure trim operations
SD/MMC cards tend to support an erase operation.  In addition, eMMC v4.4
cards can support secure erase, trim and secure trim operations that are
all variants of the basic erase command.

SD/MMC device attributes "erase_size" and "preferred_erase_size" have been
added.

"erase_size" is the minimum size, in bytes, of an erase operation.  For
MMC, "erase_size" is the erase group size reported by the card.  Note that
"erase_size" does not apply to trim or secure trim operations where the
minimum size is always one 512 byte sector.  For SD, "erase_size" is 512
if the card is block-addressed, 0 otherwise.

SD/MMC cards can erase an arbitrarily large area up to and
including the whole card.  When erasing a large area it may
be desirable to do it in smaller chunks for three reasons:

    1. A single erase command will make all other I/O on the card
       wait.  This is not a problem if the whole card is being erased, but
       erasing one partition will make I/O for another partition on the
       same card wait for the duration of the erase - which could be a
       several minutes.

    2. To be able to inform the user of erase progress.

    3. The erase timeout becomes too large to be very useful.
       Because the erase timeout contains a margin which is multiplied by
       the size of the erase area, the value can end up being several
       minutes for large areas.

"erase_size" is not the most efficient unit to erase (especially for SD
where it is just one sector), hence "preferred_erase_size" provides a good
chunk size for erasing large areas.

For MMC, "preferred_erase_size" is the high-capacity erase size if a card
specifies one, otherwise it is based on the capacity of the card.

For SD, "preferred_erase_size" is the allocation unit size specified by
the card.

"preferred_erase_size" is in bytes.

6f51be3d37 sdio: allow non-standard SDIO cards
There are some chips (like TI WL12xx series) that can be interfaced over
SDIO but don't support the SDIO specification, meaning that they are
missing CIA (Common I/O Area) with all it's registers.  Current Linux SDIO
implementation relies on those registers to identify and configure the
card, so non-standard cards can not function and cause lots of warnings
from the core when it reads invalid data from non-existent registers.

After this patch, init_card() host callback can now set new quirk
MMC_QUIRK_NONSTD_SDIO, which means that SDIO core should not try to access
any standard SDIO registers and rely on init_card() to fill all SDIO
structures instead.  As those cards are usually embedded chips, all the
required information can be obtained from machine board files by the host
driver when it's called through init_card() callback.

f4b7f927b5 mmc: Add per-card debugfs support
For each card successfully added to the bus, create a subdirectory under
the host's debugfs root with information about the card.

At the moment, only a single file is added to the card directory for
all cards: "state". It reflects the "state" field in struct mmc_card,
indicating whether the card is present, readonly, etc.

For MMC and SD cards (not SDIO), another file is added: "status".
Reading this file will ask the card about its current status and
return it. This can be useful if the card just refuses to respond to
any commands, which might indicate that the card state is not what the
MMC core thinks it is (due to a missing stop command, for example.)

When SD showed up, the bus topology was abandoned
and a star topology (one card per host) was mandated.
MMC version 4 has followed this, officially deprecating
the bus topology.

As we do not have any known users of the bus
topology we can remove support for it. This will

fba68bd2da mmc: Add support for SDHC cards
Thanks to the generous donation of an SDHC card by John Gilmore, and
the surprisingly enlightened decision by the SD Card Association to
publish useful specs, I've been able to bash out support for SDHC. The
changes are not too profound:

i) Add a card flag indicating the card uses block level addressing and
check it in the block driver. As we never took advantage of byte-level
addressing, this simply involves skipping the block -> byte
translation when sending commands.

ii) The layout of the CSD is changed - a set of fields are discarded
to make space for a larger C_SIZE. We did not reference any of the
discarded fields except those related to the C_SIZE.

iii) Read and write timeouts are fixed values and not calculated from
CSD values.

iv) Before invoking SEND_APP_OP_COND, we must invoke the new
SEND_IF_COND to inform the card we support SDHC.

335eadf2ef [PATCH] sd: initialize SD cards
Support for the Secure Digital protocol in the MMC layer.

A summary of the legal issues surrounding SD cards, as understood by yours
truly:

Members of the Secure Digital Association, hereafter SDA, are required to sign
a NDA[1] before given access to any specifications.  It has been speculated
that including an SD implementation would forbid these members to redistribute
Linux.  This is the basic problem with SD support so it is unclear if it even
is a problem since it has no effect on those of us that aren't members.

The SDA doesn't seem to enforce these rules though since the patches included
here are based on documentation made public by some of the members.  The most
complete specs[2] are actually released by Sandisk, one of the founding
companies of the SDA.

Because of this the NDA is considered a non-issue by most involved in the
discussions concerning these patches.  It might be that the SDA is only
interested in protecting the so called "secure" bits of SD, which so far
hasn't been found in any public spec.  (The card is split into two sections,
one "normal" and one "secure" which has an access scheme similar to TPM:s).

(As a side note, Microsoft is working to make things easier for us since they
want to be able to include the source code for a SD driver in one of their
development kits.  HP is making sure that the new NDA will allow a Linux
implementation.  So far only the SDIO specs have been opened up[3].  More will
hopefully follow.)

This patch contains the central parts of the SD support.  If no MMC cards are
found on a bus then the MMC layer proceeds looking for SD cards.  Helper
functions are extended to handle the special needs of SD cards.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
